Description Karolina Surma 2023-10-25 14:37:21 UTC
pykickstart fails to build with Python 3.13.0a1.

======================================================================
ERROR: runTest (tests.handle_unicode.HandleUnicode_TestCase.runTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/pykickstart-3.48/tests/handle_unicode.py", line 26, in runTest
    locale.resetlocale()
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'locale' has no attribute 'resetlocale'. Did you mean: '_setlocale'?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 535 tests in 111.044s

FAILED (errors=1)

According to https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html:
Remove locale.resetlocale() function deprecated in Python 3.11: use locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-104783.)

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.13/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06551081-pykickstart/

For all our attempts to build pykickstart with Python 3.13, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/package/pykickstart/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr.
You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.13:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.13 is planned to be included in Fedora 41.
To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.13.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires),
so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.

We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best,
but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
